"We are working hard to reduce the number of “[uncertain]” profiles on Wikitree. The standard usage on Wikitree is Unknown; see details below to clarify why this is important. The profile [Uknown-XXX] for (name) is a case in point.
This was posted recently on our G2G forum by the Unknowns project: "When profiles have the surname Unknown, they will show up in searches where a married name is searched, but there are profiles where the surname is not known. In other words, if you have "Elizabeth (Unknown) Martin," and you search for "Elizabeth Martin," profiles for Elizabeth Unknown are included in the search, whereas profiles for "Elizabeth [Uknown]" are not."
I have checked for sources and not been able to find the last name at birth (LNAB). If you have learned the LNAB please add it to the profile. Could you please take a moment and change the LNAB birth on this profile to Unknown or the LNAB if known? If you manage multiple [Uknown] profiles, I’m happy to work with you to find and update each one! Just let me know!
We would really appreciate this contribution to our collaborative WikiTree. If we can’t find the profile, we can’t work together to improve it!
